Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 239
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
The old cotton gin on Lawrenceville Street (now home to The Local Peach, Stop the Clock Photo, and other local merchants) was once owned by the Summerour family. In the early 1900s, Homer Summerour developed and marketed a more productive variety of cotton, which he called “Half and Half.” His cotton seeds made him so well-known that people from across the country could send an order addressed to nothing more than “Cotton Seed Man” and “Georgia” and it would be delivered to him here in Norcross.
